Obtaining the views of the public on matters concerning the policing of Moyle
Moyle DPP will consult with the community on an ongoing basis to find out what the main local policing issues are and obtain local views on the policing of the district. This will be achieved through a combination of the following methods:
- A public consultation survey every two years;
- Focus Group sessions to consolidate issues raised in the survey and at DPP meetings; and,
- Ongoing consultations with local Community Police Liaison Committees (CPLCs) and other community groups/forums with an interest in the policing of their area and community safety in general.
- The information obtained from consultation will be used as the basis for discussions between the police and the DPP to inform the local policing plan and set the targets for crime prevention in the district.
